Green Senatorial Campaign Committee

The Green Senatorial Campaign Committee (GSCC) is the Green Party committee for the United States Senate, working to elect Greens to the United States Senate. The GSCC filed with the US Federal Election Commission for official recognition in September 2006, which was received in February 2007.[1] This is the first time a party other than the Democrats or Republicans have had a Senatorial Campaign Committee recognized by the FEC.
